Bingo, Trivia, Hot tubs. the pool staff did nit see what was going on . AT one time there were 13 people in the tub, I had to tell kids not to get in. there was a toddler maybe 2 in the tub with no supervision. I had to get out and get a staff member..

Sorry you did not enjoy your cruise. I wonder if part of the issue was too many kids on spring break. The Getaway is one of our favorite ships.

Might try Holland America if you are wanting less kids, less people in hot tubs and a low key time . Otherwise, there will always bea lot of people in hot tubs and most staff members leave people alone to enjoy their vacation. I have never been on a cruise where hot tubs did not have kids in them and as far as the Brazilian Stackhouse....they have to cook the meat to appropriate temperatures since the meat is not cooked to individual preference.
